Collier Automotive Museum

Yesterday, my wife and I took a drive with the local South Florida chapter of the Porsche Club of America over to Naples to visit the Collier Automotive Museum. What an amazing place. We had a 2-hour tour, which included many Porsche's that spanned their history, both racing and production.

The Museum is on a "by invitation only" basis, but if you ever have the opportunity to visit, you won't be sorry.

Washed it and waxed it in the garage. Man, the weather is miserable. I ordered a bottle of 303 protectant for the top.

Headlight Haze

Bryan,

Before you buy a new headlight, have you tried using "Mothers PowerBall Headlight Restoration" kit? It comes with sandpaper pads, as well as the PowerBall attachment and the plastic polish. First I tried the polish with the PowerBall and it didn't do the job. I then used the sandpaper according to the instructions and the headlights came out crystal clear. I followed up with the polish and PowerBall and am very pleased with the results.

I was thinking of trying that or the 3M kit.

New Radio

Installed a JVC KW-AV60BT 2-din stereo in my 1999 Boxster. SWEEEET! It fits perfectly in the upper two openings. Am using the USB for music, but can also stream from my iPhone. It also syncs. with my iphone for phone calls. Feel like I have a new vehicle!

Add a backup camera and you'll feel like one of JDs peeps! Oh, it DOES help with that blindspot too.

Pictures? What did you use for the cage and surround, wiring harness? That looks like a nice unit for the price.

That's pretty much what mine looks like. Same wheels too. Just that I changed the headlights and tails and side indicators to led ones. Man gotta get the chance to clean the car for pics. Weathers been bad recently.
